Okay, I absolutely agree with the hype here!…read more I just recently moved from San Francisco to South San Francisco and have been trying to find a good Mexican/burrito place. Everyone knows, SF has amazing spots everywhere so I need to find one more south. Heard a lot about this place and glad everything was true. Ordered their super burrito with Cabeza. Finally, a spot with Cabeza, lengua, tripas and all the meats I would love. The burrito was super flavorful and everything was mixed in well. The salsa bar is to die for and they had so many options. 100% highly recommend this spot on this side of the peninsula.

A great, authentic Mexican option if you are in the area!…read more I think their biggest selling point is their portion sizes & overall value for what you pay. I tried their fish taco and super burrito with pastor & shrimp. Both were overflowing with protein, to the point where you need to use silverware to scoop it all up! The fish were very fresh, though I wish there was a bit more seasoning on both. The salsas help make up for it, but overall I found the flavor profiles to be a bit one-note. Taco was $6 & burrito was $17. Again, good value for what you get. I wouldn't recommend a special trip, but it's a great option if you're already nearby!

"Great hole-in-the-wall Mexican near SFO airport"…read more Came here for dinner at 6pm on a Monday night, based on good Yelp reviews. The place is unassuming-- has a thin stretch of outdoor seating and a handful of tables inside. Not super bright in lighting, and a TV inside was showing a baseball game. Seemed like a lot of the business was takeout, as people would come, hover, get food, and leave. I was GOING to order the fish tacos or a fish quesadilla, but I was swayed by the picture of a breaded fish plate special. My son got the carne asada quesadilla, and others at the table got a veggie burrito and a chicken bowl. Food came out pretty quick-- maybe around or just over 10 minutes (the fish plate and veggie burrito came out slightly after the other two). I was very impressed that the fish plate looked even BETTER than the photo (see photos of both). The fish was HUGE. There was a generous helping of guacamole, lots of fresh avocado slides, some onion and cabbage, etc. There was a nice bed of lettuce on the side with sour cream over it, and the rice & beans (covered with a thin layer of cheese) on another side. The fish plate was just delicious. The batter wasn't overpowering or too heavy, and the fish was excellent inside (and very flat). I really liked the sauce in a little cup on the fish, or having it with avocado or guacamole, or even straight. The rice and beans were yummy too. Such a great dish, and it was under $20 before tax and tip. My dining companions all liked their food, though my son said the carne asada meat was "just good" (he had a bite of the chicken and said that was better). The person at the register was friendly. And as mentioned, the prices were very reasonable. I'd happily eat here again if in the area. Great portion size, great quality, good value, etc. Enjoy!

The burrito had potatoes, but they weren't french fries. They were boiled potato strips. Kind of somewhat annoying when that's what I was looking forward to.

FOOD: I usually go for the tostada de salpicon which is a mixture of shrimp and octopus or a coctel de camaron, but today I decided to change it up. I got the camarones à la española which is shrimp with a sliver of bell pepper, cheese and wrapped in bacon. In opinion, the slice of bell pepper was quite unnecessary, but regardless the dish was pretty good. I've also had their taco de asada but I upgrade to the arrachera meat which is skirt steak and soooo worth the $3 up charge. Comes in a hand made tortilla instead of the small street style one too. As we were sitting at the bar, I witnessed the bartender making drinks and they just didn't seem appealing. If you want an alcoholic drink, I'd suggest sticking with beer, shots of tequila or a michelada because like I said, the bartender didn't really look like she knew how to properly mix or make cocktails. SERVICE: On arriving, the lady had us sit wherever we wanted. We decided to sit at the bar as there was a small band playing there Saturday night. Service was attentive despite them being pretty busy that night. PARKING Can be difficult on the main street, but there always seems to be something available. Make sure to pay your meter because San Bruno loves ticketing.

Location is hidden behind a tree and it's nice because it gives it a feel of "hidden away". It is a small but still spacious location. So much cute decorations on the wall that it truly feels like you are transported somewhere else. We got seated immediately as soon as we walked in. We got water for the table why we waited for the rest of the party. we ordered: -elote tots 10/10 they were so good and the tots gave it a nice crunchy feeling -Chilaquiles (no meat but yes egg) 10/10 they have red or green sauce we went with green -Pozole my tio always orders this anytime it's on the menu and he said it was great. -civiche de camaron 8/10 I enjoyed them but I wish they had a bit more flavor, I kept asking for peoples lime or hot sauce to give it just that extra flavor -Maz main my aunt said the salad alone was a bit dry and the dressing it came with thick like spread instead of dressing so she was just "ok" with it.

I got a regular chicken burrito, which has rice, beans, and salsa. The burrito is so dense! It's packed with meat! It really hit the spot. The man at the counter was so friendly and happy-going. The rest of the kitchen staff all seemed like they were having fun. I love that! It's actually quite rare to see restaurant employees liking their job. The place is a bit small with just a handful of tables. It wasn't too busy when I went, which was around 8pm on a Wednesday. Give this place a try!

I was craving for a burrito and heard many good things about this place. My husband and I came here…read morearound 12 noon time and it wasn't very busy. However, the line did pick up pretty quickly after we received our food. Some restaurants give you free chips and salsa when you order a burrito. This one does not. The staff here seem friendly, there's plenty of seats inside. The prices are very reasonable here. The burritos are a decent size. They're skinnier than what I'm used to though. I will say though that there's not a lot going on with my burrito even though I ordered a super burrito. I also asked for some pico de gallo to be added to my burrito, but they forgot to add it. I ordered carne asada as the meat. The meat was pretty dry. I'm used to having juicier pieces of meat. There was also a smokey flavor to the meat, which I did not like. There was barely any sour cream in the burrito, plenty of rice, barely any salsa in it, the cheese was also veeeery little in there. I'm not sure how this place has so many high ratings. It was very underwhelming for my husband and I. Maybe we went at a bad time or the wrong day? Maybe the person making it was rushing? But I have definitely had better burritos. I really wanted to like this place a lot since I love burritos and it's local. I love to support small businesses, but they skimped out on a lot of the ingredients here. I do like their green sauce, but it'd definitely spicier than what I am normally used to.

There were only a few other patrons, so grabbing a table wasn't difficult. Typical Mexican joint with brightly painted walls and Mexican decor. They have a water dispenser and an open salsa bar for your convenience. You place an order at the cashier and they will serve you the order when it's ready. Food came in about 10 minutes. *** O U R P I C K S *** QUESABIRRIA ~ you get 3 tasty quesabirrias for $18.95. You also get consumé, a side of chopped onions, cilantro, and a few slices of lime. It was good, flavorful, lots of cheese, but kinda pricey. 4/5 WET BURRITO ~ Wet burrito with both red and green sauces for $15.75. Comparable to other taquerias in SSF. But most of those places are a drive away, so that's probably why their prices are higher. And they added lettuce as a filler. And when you don't eat it right away, the lettuce is mushy and wilted. 3.5/5 It's good to try new eateries now and then. This was decent, but I think we'll stick to our usual spots that are tried and true for us.

The molcajete (traditional stone grinding bowl) $34.27 is fish, chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, bell peppers, green onions, cheese & tortillas. It is meant for two or more people. My attempt to do this solo failed miserably. At least they have to-go boxes. The steak and shrimps have a charred flavor. The inside, with the chicken, fish, shrimp and pork sausage had a smokey bean flavor combined with snap of green onions and bell peppers. I was surprised the heated stoneware didn't dry out the meats. It was perfect. Service was excellent for a pay at the cashier and they bring you the food type of restaurant. You have to ask at the cashier to re-fill your water. The self service salsa bar is a plus. They will give you actual silverware and plate if you ask. Minor nit. The price on the electronic wall menu was $32.95. The price on the cash register is $34.27. I paid in cash. They need to update the wall menu.
